Artists' Statements
Evelyn E. Harris
"I
think I have always liked to draw, and spent many hours drawing
characters from the comics and pulp magazines. My youngest
daughter got a paint set for Christmas about the time I was retiring,
and since she didn't bother with them I tried them. I was hooked;
I spent some time with oils, but when I tried watercolour, I found my
niche and have spent many happy hours working and learning 'How to
Paint.'"
Judith A. Brown
"My
paintings reflect the peacefulness, beauty and serenity of our
landscape." Judy is awed by the incredible beauty, colour
and atmosphere of the world around us. Painting is a way of
trying to capture and express these images and feelings on paper.
Carolyn Brown
"I want to
show you the things I cannot see and have you tell me that you
can." Carolyn is fascinated by the mix of illusion and
imagination involved in watercolour. You don't have to paint
every detail to show people a whole picture. Every person will
see something different in a watercolour painting; it may even change
from moment to moment as light or perspective alters. No one can
or will experience a painting in the same way the artist does, and the
more the piece leaves to the imagination, the more varied an experience
of it will be.
